I have had this Ginza treadle sewing machine since before we came back from Japan in 1993. It was a gomei (trash find) and I have not been able to figure out how to get it running all these years. Over a year ago I made a tremendous effort to clean up, oil and lube it but was not able to get it to make a fully connecting seam. I had looked and looked on line for a Ginza but there was nothing online to help me. Last Saturday I gave it another go and fiddled with the threading and needle for a little bit and was finally able to get it to make a seam that connected and when I adjusted the seam length it now makes a beautiful seam. I am so excited. I have been treadling on string blocks ever since. This has made my week.
This is my HQ and I have to finish the center of this block and then I will be adding some more small projects to get completed soon.
I have completed the 3rd Quilt of Valor and have pressed and measured it. I will now be spending time putting borders on all three Quilts of Valor. After that I will concentrate on the backings.
This is all I have for now. I will keep on Scrappin!
